New player questions

[Tutok]

I ordered the Titanium edition off of amazon and I'm anxiously waiting to join the server!

Until then, I have a few questions some of you might be able to help me with.

I plan on playing an Ogre Shadowknight and a Dwarf Cleric. My two favorite race/class combos from old EQ days.

Which one would be easier to start on P99? I'm obviously going to be untwinked and was wondering if I would have a hard time finding groups with either character?

I plan on visiting some of my favorite lowbie zones such as Oasis/Sro/Nro with my Ogre SK and crushbone with my dwarf cleric. Do a lot of players still go to those zones even though Kunark is out? I never experienced Guk, Mistmoore, Highpass, or Unrest. Are there still people who go to these zones as well?

My playing times are what's going to hurt me though. I think i'm probably going to be playing from around midnight EST to 7am EST when I am on.

Thanks for your help! I look forward to seeing you all ingame and I have enjoyed reading many of the discussions you all have posted on these forums in the meantime
